My new favorite??

OK, so my favorite car is (was?) the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish (about $230k):

The British maker of ultra luxury performance cars continues with its DB7 and flagship V12 Vanquish supercar. The DB7 gets some minor exterior revisions for the 2003 model year, while the sleek V12 Vanquish is now equipped with a Linn Audio system, which puts out 1200 watts through 13 speakers. However, the Vanquish makes sweet music even with the audio system turned off, thanks to its 460-horsepower 6.0-liter V12 under the hood.

But look at this bad boy:

Bolstering the Bentley lineup next year will be the all-new GT Coupe. Designed with the power of a supercar but the refinement of a Bentley, the GT Coupe will provide a thrilling ride for its four occupants via a 500-horsepower 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine under the “bonnet”. Power is controlled via a 6-speed paddle-operated gearbox and distributed to the road via all-wheel drive—a first for a Bentley. Rumor has it the GT Coupe will be priced under $150,000, putting it in direct competition with Mercedes-Benz.

I tell you, when I win the lottery I'm going to have one HECK of a time with this decision!!

Well, I did consider that, but I only have a 2 car garage, and my wife likes to park the minivan in there. I don't think it would be good to leave one of these in the driveway...

well, if you needed someone to watch and take care of one of them while you drove the other, i would be more than happy to volunteer to do that for you.

you know, just as a "favor for a friend" sort of thing. i don't live too far away, and i'd take great care of it

Jeffbx · 09-26-2002, 10:21 AM

Hey, that'd be great... I'll give you a shout as soon as I pick up the Bentley.

Geez... live a little.

I'm pretty sure I would!

I was thinking about this guy I read about in the paper a loooong time ago - he was a real redneck back woods type, and he won a BIG chunk of cash in the lottery (like $20 mil). The first thing he did? Went out & bought himself the fanciest double-wide he could find.
